John Lannan, the former Washington Nationals ace now toiling in the minor leagues, is drawing minimal trade interest, FoxSports.com reports.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies have spoken with the Nationals about Lannan, according to Fox’s Ken Rosenthal, but neither team is close to agreeing to a deal.

Lannan's salary is one of the biggest reasons for the holdup. He's due about $3 million for the remainder of the season; sources told Rosenthal the Nats want the team that acquires Lannan to pick up all of the remaining money, plus surrender at least one "legitimate" player. That asking price has turned off the Rockies, according to Rosenthal.

Lannan, 27, was optioned to Class AAA Syracuse just before opening day after losing his rotation spot to Ross Detwiler. His minor league numbers have been poor overall (5-5, 4.98 ERA in 11 starts), but he pitched a complete game on Tuesday, allowing one run and four hits.

Last season, Lannan was 10-13 with a 3.70 ERA in 184 2/3 innings for the Nationals.
